Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.

| Date | Motion | Aye | No | Carried |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Jun 2026 | Armed Forces Bill Committee: New Clause 6 Aye: Support a statutory requirement to automatically transfer SEN plans for children of armed forces families when their parent is posted to a new base, removing bureaucratic obstacles that penalise service families. · No: Oppose legislating a rigid statutory fix, preferring the government's stated approach of practical cross-departmental improvements to SEN transfers rather than a new legal duty. | 100 | 371 | No |
| 2 Jun 2026 | Armed Forces Bill Committee: New Clause 2 Aye: Support making SEN plan transfers mandatory for service families who move due to military postings, so children do not lose vital support when their parent is redeployed. · No: Oppose imposing a statutory requirement, preferring the government's existing cross-departmental work and voluntary mechanisms to address SEN portability for armed forces families. | 173 | 304 | No |
| 2 Jun 2026 | Armed Forces Bill Committee: New Clause 5 Aye: Support inserting a provision into the Armed Forces Bill to address immigration or citizenship issues affecting service personnel and their families, placing an obligation directly in armed forces legislation · No: Oppose including immigration or citizenship provisions in this Bill, arguing responsibility lies with the Home Office and should be addressed through separate legislation or the armed forces covenant framework | 171 | 304 | No |
| 2 Jun 2026 | Armed Forces Bill Committee: New Clause 13 Aye: Support requiring an independent review of single living accommodation standards for service personnel, on the grounds that decent housing is essential to military retention and welfare. · No: Oppose mandating an independent review, likely preferring existing internal surveys and government-led improvement programmes as sufficient oversight of service accommodation. | 81 | 299 | No |

Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Armed Forces Support” → the matching service line on council finance, with the ranked-spend table this section wants) is its own taxonomy job. Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
